Cinnamon is one of my feel-good foods. This spice maybe the solution for Diabetes,Candida, Weight loss, Cancer,
Alzheimer's, Toenail fungus, Parkinson's, Stomach flu and much more. The benefits of cinnamon are compelling.

Reasons to Love Cinnamon:

1. It reduces LDL cholesterol levels. LDL is also known as the harmful cholesterol. Reducing it may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease

2. It may reduce pain linked to arthritis. Cinnamon has been shown in studies at the Department of Internal Medicine, Kangnam Korean Hospital, to reduce cytokines linked to arthritic pain.

3. It is a natural food preservative.

4. Numerous studies show that cinnamon regulates blood sugar,
making it a great choice for diabetics and hypoglycemics alike. That’s
also great news for anyone who wants stable energy levels and moods.

5. It contains fiber, calcium, iron, and manganese—albeit small amounts to the typical dose of ground cinnamon.

Sweet potatoes, also commonly labeled as yams, are an excellent and
inexpensive staple to have on hand. These deep orange-fleshed
nutritional powerhouses add several important components to the diet.
Their health and weight management benefits far exceed the nutritional
value found in ordinary white and yellow fleshed potatoes.

1. High in Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 helps
reduce the chemical homocysteine in our bodies. Homocysteine has been
linked with degenerative diseases, including heart attacks.

2. Good source of Magnesium: Sweet potatoes are a good source of mag­nesium, which is the relaxation and anti-stress mineral.
Magnesium is necessary for healthy artery, blood, bone, heart, muscle,
and nerve function, yet experts estimate that approximately 80 percent
of the popula­tion in North America may be deficient in this important
mineral.

3. Contain Vitamin D: They contain Vitamin D which is critical for immune
system and overall health at this time of year. Both a vitamin and a
hormone, vitamin D is primarily made in our bodies as a result of
getting adequate sunlight. You may have heard about seasonal affective
disorder (or SAD, as it is also called), which is linked to inadequate
sunlight and therefore a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D plays an important role in our energy levels, moods, and helps to build healthy bones, heart, nerves, skin, and teeth, and it supports the thyroid gland.

4. They are versatile : Try them roasted, puréed,
steamed, baked, or grilled. You can add them to soups and stews, or
grill and place on top of leafy greens for a delicious salad. I enjoy
grilling them with onions and red peppers for amazing sandwich or wrap
ingredients. Puree them and add to smoothies and baked goods.

5. Rich in Beta-Carotene : Beta-carotene or vitamin A is an important antioxidant. One medium sweet
potato provides your body with the complete recommended daily allowance
of vitamin A and then some. Vitamin A is useful in the prevention of
several different types of cancer as it is one of the most potent
antioxidants out there.

Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large, flowering head is eaten as a vegetable.The wordbroccolicomes from the Italian plural ofbroccolo, which means "the flowering crest of acabbage", and is the diminutive form ofbrocco, meaning "small nail" or "sprout".Broccoli is often boiled or steamed but may be eaten raw.Broccoli is high in vitamin C and dietary fiber.

1. Cholesterol reduction: Like many whole foods, broccoli is packed with soluble fiber that draws cholesterol out of your body.

3. Powerful antioxidant: Of all the cruciferous vegetables, broccoli stands out as the most concentrated source of vitamin C, plus the flavonoids necessary for vitamin C to recycle effectively. Also concentrated in broccoli are the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-carotene, other powerful antioxidants.

4. Reducing allergic reaction and inflammation: Research has shown the ability of kaempferol to lessen the impact of allergy-related substances on our body. Broccoli even has significant amounts of omega 3 fatty acids, which are well know as an anti-inflammatory.

5. Diet aid: Broccoli is a good carb and is high in fiber, which aids in digestion, prevents constipation, maintains low blood sugar, and curbs overeating.

6. Bone health: Broccoli contains high levels of both calcium and vitamin K, both of which are important for bone health and prevention of osteoporosis.

7. Heart health: The anti-inflammatory properties of sulforaphane, one of the isothiocyanates (ITCs) in broccoli, may be able to prevent (or even reverse) some of the damage to blood vessel linings that can be caused by inflammation due to chronic blood sugar problems.
